Not to make light of his passing, but I can imagine the confusion when the word was passed on the 1MC "Allhands report to the torpedo room on the double".

How could anyone not think that If he was a typical submarine sailor, I'm sure he got a lot of mileage out of his name. He must have drove the COB nuts!
